In this episode we’re getting in our fragrant time-machine and revisiting three iconic scents – two of which were launched (incredibly!) in the 1920s. One of them got the daring Parisian flappers going and another Nicola has a very personal connection to and recently tracked down as a special present for a family member. This third icon we talk about is a modern classic from the 1980s, which was way ahead of its time in the whole ‘wellness’ scent inspiration and set a whole new trend we’re still following to this day. Amidst the nostalgia we also chat about the fragrances we chose to wear when meeting each other for the first time in-person, our accidental lingerie purchases, what we’re wearing now and the fragrance we’ve influenced ourselves into purchasing next… Fragrances mentioned: What We Wore to Sniff Each OtherSuzy: Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Woman @ormondejayneNicola: Serges Lutens Fleur D’Oranger @sergeslutensThe IconsMolinard Habanita @molinardparfumsClarins Eau Dynamisante @clarinsukCaron Nuit de Noel @caronparisofficial

In this episode Nicola has a good old catch up with perfumer extraordinaire and creator of Escentric Molecules, Geza Schoen. Geza has been described as a "perfume rockstar" and "a maverick perfumer" who teases and tantalises with his fragrances and during the episode Nicola and Geza reminisce about the last time they met ( Geza reveals something unexpected that had happened to his trousers that day). They then go on to discuss Geza's perfume journey, how he initially came up with the concept of Molecule 1 and how he and Escentric Molecules have evolved over the years.Geza is not only a perfume genius but is also a really lovely guy and we hope you enjoy getting to know him as much as we have.
